Abstract:

This article aims to interpret ethical values and principles of the yoga tradition and discuss them with a view to possible contributions to psychosocial care in Primary Health Care (PHC). A theoretical-hermeneutic study was carried out, in which concepts present in the Yoga Sutra writing of Patañjali were interpreted under the framework of mental health. It has been found that the values found in scripture can enrich the existing practices of yoga for APS users (who sufferafflictions inherent to life) by providing ideas and guidelines that favor a sense of liberation of suffering. Such values and ethical principles can be incorporated into the discussions in PHC and psychosocial care, such as reduction of iatrogeny and unnecessary medicalization (quaternary prevention), relativization of biomedical power, stimulation of empathy and participation of users in care, with their subjective repositioning, pluralizing autonomous ways of managing suffering and building networks of psychosocial support. It was concluded that the values of the Yoga Sutra may be present in various areas of PHC, which would give an expanded understanding of what a \'yoga practice\' means.
